Chimney Inspection Services
Our chimney inspection experts have the years of experience and technical knowledge to guarantee a top-notch chimney inspection. We always provide customers with 3 levels of inspection to ensure quality and safety standards are met.
Level 1 Inspections are the standard recommendation for a chimney inspection. Our chimney inspector will evaluate the readily accessible areas of the chimney and fireplace, as well as confirm that there are no obstructions or interference in the flue. This level of inspection is ideal if the use of your chimney and fireplace has not changed in terms of frequency or burning material. To ease servicing requirements, level one inspections can coincide with the routine or annual evaluation of the ventilation system or during a standard chimney clean or chimney sweep.
Level 2 Inspections kick it up a notch by taking a more detailed and thorough look at all the areas surrounding the chimney and fireplace. These spaces can include accessible attic spaces, basements, and crawl spaces, parts of the chimney exterior and interior, parts of appliance and chimney connection, areas of the chimney connection, the flue interior. Certain instances when a Level 2 Inspection may be necessary include appliance replacement, flue relining, newly purchased home, recent chimney fire or issue identified in Level 1 Inspection. A Level 2 Inspection is a much more thorough and detailed chimney inspection, but is not the most invasive type of chimney inspection.
Level 3 Inspections are only recommended under extreme circumstances such as when a Level 1 or Level 2 chimney inspection are inadequate or have brought to light significant issues. A Level 3 Inspection often requires inspection of concealed areas to evaluate definite or suspected issues. This can include the removal of siding and walls to assess the complete chimney system’s function and condition. We will discuss with you any removal or disassembly of your chimney system and surrounding areas prior to beginning that portion of the chimney inspection.
